One of my best friends of all time (RIP buddy) and I bonded pretty hard over our similar insomnia patterns and, knowing the other would probably be awake, we would usually text each other around 1 or 2 am. Having nothing else to do we’d usually drive around town talking about random shit like movies we’d seen or stories relating to songs on the radio. One night our driving path led to this new subdivision kind of outside of city limits. It was off of a main highway, probably a mile or two east of town where all the subdivisions had generic names and all the houses were different shades of the same shit brown or gray.

So we pulled into this random subdivision. The first thing we noticed was the lack of streetlights. Usually these new subdivisions were lit out the ass but this one wasn’t, which was weird.

And then we turned a corner and noticed, oh I dunno, at least 75% of the occupants of the houses on this block just fucking randomly standing out in their front yards.

With the lights out.

At 2 am.

Just, what the fuck? They weren’t even doing anything, just standing there. We obviously immediately left and I’ve gone back to the place in broad daylight a couple of times... it just looks like a normal neighborhood. I dunno what we saw but I know we both saw it.

Maybe some event happened... power went out, or a house was on fire? The latter would be pretty obvious though. Maybe an electric transformer exploded (it happens occasionally) and the sound made everyone come outside?

Well... they weren’t conversing amongst each other, or walking a certain direction, or acting like normal human beings would have if something like a fire or a transformer blowout happened. They were just standing there, facing the street on each side. And wearing what looked like street clothes. Admittedly it was dark, but a few of the houses had those little garden pathlights or plant accent lights or whatever the hell and I saw lots of jean shorts (it was early summer).

Unknowing "test subjects" of dark government programs?? They're not beyond doing that, just to test the limits of what they can do with the technology. Like when they dosed that entire town's water supply with LSD.

Usually the simplest explanation is the most probable. You know how lots of passers-by on Google Street View are waving or looking at the camera? It's not creepy or weird because they know they'll end up on Street View, and they just want to say hi to all the users.

What I'm saying is the people you saw on that street knew they'll end up in your Reddit post. There's nothing supernatural or weird about that.

A girl I know had a similar experience. She got lost driving around a bunch of residential streets in the suburbs, looking for a friend's house. She ended up on some street and as she was looking around for house numbers, she noticed that people were staring at here from the windows of nearly every house.

Stop. Just stop. A bunch of people standing out in their yards on the sides of the road isn't anything close to any type of Wiccan ceremony or Drawing Down the Moon or anything like that. I'm not trying to be rude, but as a long time Witch ( and that word simply means somebody who practices Wicca, not some weird movie bullshit) this type of stuff drives me nuts.

You need to learn to read Because Wicca was not started in 1954. Gardner wrote that book then because that was when the last of the laws against Wicca actually were lifted. How about read up on it before you go spouting bullshit. There were laws against Wicca for hundreds of years before that but apparently it didn't exist? Interesting. Reading is your friend. I'm talking about Elder Wicca, not neo-paganism. They aren't the same thing if you know how to read.

If you were that educated about it then you wouldn't be spouting off that Wicca was invented in 1954
That's nonsense. Provide a source that shows any of your claims are factual. I've been a Witch for fifteen years so try arguing the history of Wicca with me PLEASE. Wicca started in Old Europe, not in the damn fifties.
